<div>All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Apparently my computer decided to send my question to the TGF list also, which is fine, although I&#39;m wondering how it managed to do that since I see that I only typed in the other two lists.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First of all, I would like to reassure you all that I much prefer footnotes and have never used endnotes. As one poster stated, the problem is that when you have that much information, the footnotes can take up most of the page. While discussing information in a document, say for example, a probate record in the text, I do not believe the paragraph is where the full citation where the document is located belongs. Also, I am discussing genealogies, not reports, so any annotation about a consideration of a source or information would most likely end up in a footnote vs. the possiblity that it would end up in the text of a report. And even though I dislike flipping back and forth between endnotes at the end of a chapter (take _Only a Few Bones_ for example) I&#39;m wondering exactly what the book would have looked like if it had been footnoted. </div>

<div> </div>
<div>Elissa, I don&#39;t believe that sending a genealogy into the world with endnotes would qualify it as having no clothes on. Would there be more of a chance that someone would copy those pages and leave the endnotes behind? Absolutely. Would you or I? Absolutely not, because we value and respect the source as much as the information from those sources. The person who copies the genealogy without the sources is going to be the one who types it into Ancestry for me w/out any citations. : ) I do appreciate your section example and will attempt to see if it works.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>So...how is one to accomplish writing a well-documented genealogy (and most of you know me well enough to know that any genealogy I produce is going to lean towards overkill on documentation) without it being so chopped up from page to page that it is unreadable with footnotes. Think hundreds of pages produced from years of research. That is the problem, although I and apparently quite a few others, would like to know the answer to the section/endnote question which I will post if I can figure it out.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>I&#39;d love to see some examples (a couple of pages) of any genealogy that anyone thought worked particularly well with footnotes. I&#39;m a visual person and that would probably help a lot.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for all the responses.</div>

<b><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Subject:</span></b> [APG Members] Placement of endnotes within genealogy<br></font>
<div>

<div class="h5"><br>
<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am playing with the organization of the next genealogy I&#39;m working on. First, I would like to know your opinions about using endnotes vs. footnotes. Please note---this is not for a report. Second, there is the placement of the endnotes. I do not want them all to literally be at the end of the genealogy. I&#39;m thinking about placing them at the end of each generation. I am working with both Word 2003 and Word 2007. Because of encoding, I cannot switch to a new document for each generation. Is there a way to place the endnotes after each generation and begin with the genealogy again within the same document.</div>
